The world’s luckiest kids’ sports coach will stand to make a whopping £90,000 a year teaching two four-years-olds to play football.
Almost triple the average pay of a school PE teacher, the bumper salary comes with medical insurance and a goal-den perk... a trip to the World Cup in Qatar.
The youngsters’ sports-mad family, from the oil rich Gulf state, want someone to provide general childcare, English tutoring be a soccer coach for their twin boys and to travel with them to the tournament next year.
To achieve their goal, they have hired a firm which specialises in finding nannies and tutors for VIP families.
The advertisement says: “The ideal candidate ... will be a kind, creative and energetic person, with experience teaching small children.”
It adds that the twins are “warm and friendly and generally happy.”
The ability to play a musical instrument will be a benefit too.
The successful candidate, who will live in self-contained accommodation at their home in Virginia Water, Surrey, will work a two-week alternating rota with the family’s French language tutor.
James Alger, director of Jobs in Childcare, where the advertisement was posted, said that demand for sporty nannies and tutors is on the rise.
Adding that England’s performance in the Euros has fuelled the trend, he added: “More and more
families want their kids actively involved in sports.
“With the Olympics and football tournaments ongoing, it’s hardly surprising.”
Earlier this year The Mirror reported how super-rich parents were splashing out £6,000 a month on private tutors while millions of Brits juggled work and home-schooling during the pandemic.
Demand for tutors has soared since coronavirus hit the UK's shores, with one company saying requests have increased tenfold since January 2020, with some parents paying up to £1,500 per week.
Another reports a 50% increase in demand for live-in tutors and governesses, offered by agencies like jobsinchildcare.com.
One tutor was paid hundreds of pounds a day to live with a Russian family during the pandemic, even joining them on their private plane as they jetted between luxurious locations.
